@piratechroniclesseries Kind like you mentioned earlier once the belt, which was just like a rubber band, when it lost its tightness, synching and keeping tempos locked made you in active listening and adjusting mode.
Speaking of DIY, I was wondering if you could shed some light on something I've been pondering for years. Listening back to mixes from the early 90's (Hermit, Spreadlove etc.) from the inception of Garage at venues such as Frog & Nightgown, I've noticed that the records play much faster than can be achieved on a standard +/-8% pitch on a 1210. Were the decks they were using modified to play faster or were they using decks such as the Stanton STR8 150, which had a pitch selector allowing you to go as high as +50%? Appreciate any knowledge you can provide on this Maddness :)
Thank you for your observation. However, that was not the case. I had a conversation with Hermit on this topic several years ago, and he was one of the first to suggest increasing the pace by adding up to +7. What you may have noticed from tape cassettes could be the actual tape itself, but I am not certain. Regardless, there were no adaptations made.
@@piratechroniclesseries Interesting, this was my initial thought actually (the tape itself causing the speed increase). Good to know that it wasn't any sort of wizardy being used! thanks :)
